Obvious Ninja: The CCO

Working from home has been an adjustment, but I can honestly say that I really enjoy it. I have a three second commute, I wear yoga pants almost exclusively, and I really think I get more done.

All that being said, there is one downside for an extrovert like me- there is very little social interaction. I am used to being around coworkers, and, with my last job at least, pretty funny coworkers. To fill the void, I have started relying on my new coworkers for entertainment and camaraderie. I'm talking about Itsy and Saber, our two cats.

Look, I know this sounds weird and like I'm becoming a cat lady, but you have to believe me, they are so cute and hilarious! Itsy is a tuxedo rescue, and she is a little more reserved. Basically, she doesn't like anyone but me and sometimes Brad, which is a lot of responsibility. She was our first pet, and now hates her life because she can't understand why she wasn't enough for us. So, when the dogs are outside and there are no other humans around, she takes full advantage of cuddling with me.

Saber is an exotic Snow Leopard Bengal. He looks just like a snow leopard- he's only four generations away from an actual snow leopard. He can fetch! Before you think that we spent $4,000 on him, he was also a stray; we just got a very exotic stray.

So, while Itsy has the cuddling down, Saber- oh boy! The funny things he does! Like, this one time, he sat on my computer! Ahahahaha! And this other time, he ran to the window when I opened it and then laid on the sill- for like 20 minutes!

I have been sending Brad pictures of these high jinx with captions like "King of the Jungle" and "Cuddle Monster," and- my personal favorite- "The CCO (Chief Cat Officer)." Itsy is the CPO (Chief Purr Officer). For some reason, Brad is not as amused as I am with these hilarious pictures.

Don't get me wrong, my day isn't all cat pictures and cuddling, I do a lot of work- really I do. Just think of it as water cooler time. Don't judge me. I know you watch at least one YouTube video on your phone every single day, so don't pretend like you're all nose to the grindstone from 8:00 to 5:00.

If you were around this hilarious cuteness 40 hours a week, you too would begin to feel the need to document via smartphone. I recognized that this is probably not that normal...so I have started to incorporate the dogs into the photo shoots. Molly and Jake are now the co-CDOs.

They're hilarious too! OMG, the other day, Molly was sleeping and she had all her little paws curled up and it was just so cute!

...I'm also working on getting out of the house more.
